What is Mediumship?

It is simply the act of receiving loving and
helpful messages from loved ones who have crossed over. All that
is needed is a true desire from both sides to communicate. A good
medium's role is not to try to convince anyone that life after
death exists… they simply should be the best channel they can be
and provide you with all the information they receive from those
who have crossed over… then you take all that information and come
to your own conclusions.

Expectations

The time leading up to your reading with me can
be filled with an abundance of different emotions such as:
Expectations, Nervousness, Happiness, Fear of the unknown, Is this
real or isn't it? All these feelings are part of the process.

Most people come to a session with a particular goal of who they
want to hear from and even what should be said by their loved one
to prove that this is real.... WARNING: You are setting yourself
up for a big DISAPPOINTMENT!! I doubt you could put words in your
loved one's mouth while they were alive physically, don't think
you can do it now because they have crossed over.

It is vital that you come to a reading without heightened
expectations but rather remain open to any and all that should
decide to come through and make contact with you. As a client your
role is to be prepared as much as possible for your reading. Know
your family, the names of those who have passed over and what
physical conditions lead to their passing. Please keep in mind
that in-laws, and ex-in-laws are still family and may decide to
make themselves known throughout the course of your reading.

Always
expect … The Unexpected

Always keep a healthy skepticism about what is happening and what
is being told to you. NEVER make it fit. But realize that someone
you least expect may and probably will make an appearance… that is
just the way it is. Just because you never met your grandfather
don't assume he won't come through.

Prove it to me

If you were coming with a PROVE IT TO ME attitude, you would be
best to stay at home. I cannot change anyone's mind, nor do I wish
to… you would be wasting your time and mine. I have nothing to
prove.

Yes or No

Only answer with 'yes' or ' no' when the information is being
given to you or something is asked of you. Do not elaborate, but
please acknowledge the information that is coming through when it
makes sense to you. Always and without exception the more you
understand and can acknowledge, the stronger my connection becomes
with your loved ones.

Before booking your
private reading consider:

First you have to determine whether you wish to sit with a
medium or a psychic. There is a big difference. A medium
receives messages and images from those in spirit. A psychic
will pick up on your energy and relay what they feel based on
your energy that day.

If any medium promises you the world or guarantees
that you will receive communication from any one person in
particular… I strongly encourage you to turn and run as fast as
you can back to your car. In life there are no guarantees and
when working with spirit that rule still applies. My experiences
have shown when there is a genuine need those needed usually
come through.

If a medium charges an unreasonable high fee, or charges per
question or per communicator, think twice before booking. I
believe you can't put a price on what I do, only on my time. The
service offered by a good medium can be invaluable, and you
should expect to pay a reasonable rate for his or her time.

Always use your good judgment when it comes to predictions.
I believe the medium can only provide you with what they are
seeing at the time… you have the power to change the future…
it's called free will. Please remember your future is not etched
in stone.

Make the medium work for you. Be careful of people who ask
personal questions before or during your reading. Very often
they are fishing for information to use in your reading.

Loved ones in spirit come to you for one reason and one
reason only…. It is called LOVE. They are not concerned about
finances, romance or careers; they want you to grasp the big
picture… The big picture is, they are still around you and very
much an active part of your life.

If a medium does not record your reading or will not allow
you to record it… run in the opposite direction as fast as your
feet will carry you.

These are only guidelines to protect you, not to make you fear
mediums and those who have crossed over. There are many very good
and ethical mediums providing life-changing services. Please use
your own discernment to find the right one for you.

By watching John Edward's 'Crossing Over' and James Van Praagh on
'Beyond' or Rosemary Altea, you will gain a better understanding
of what a medium does.
